Positive building blocks
When we build on positives, we can deal more effectively with conflict. In the midst of conflict in an ongoing relationship, it’s easy to focus on the points of disagreement. Instead, an effort to focus on the areas of agreement, even a number of small ones, can help us handle the negative part more effectively.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

What to do about microaggressions
Template for Show Notes: Title: What to do about microaggressions Episode Summary: Helping ourselves and others to avoid microaggressions reduces negative conflict. Episode Notes: Helping ourselves and others to avoid microaggressions reduces negative conflict. Microaggressions, everyday slights that are based on stereotypes, can create unnecessary conflict. Comments, gestures, and other expressions, whether intentional or unintentional, can feel like insults to the person on the receiving end. When we feel that we are about to say something that constitutes a microaggression – an observation or question – we can embrace our awareness and stop ourselves from blurting out what we are thinking. And we can calmly reject intentional microaggressions that others might offer. For the unintentional – even well-meaning – slight, avoid putting someone on the defensive. More effective: try a suggestion that the speaker consider what it would be like to be the receiver. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Selling a business is not just a transaction, but a transition; support in that journey can help. In fact, the involvement of someone who works with the seller to address the emotional impact of a potential sale can help get the deal over the finish line. That person can also help the seller move forward without seller’s remorse.You can learn more about Denise and buy her book, The Seller’s Journey, at http://deniselogan.com/.

Pressure cookers and pressure valves
We can work to prevent pressure cookers when possible and to have personal pressure valves ready when we need them.Pressure cookers can easily create or aggravate negative conflict for ourselves and others. Some pressure cookers are inevitable and beyond our control. Other times, we can prevent them or minimize how severe they are. Either way, we can prepare to deal with pressure cookers by having our individual pressure valves primed and ready to help us let off steam.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Reflecting on silence
Silence can be as powerful as words. We usually think about words we use and how we say them when we consider conflict. Silence, too, matters. It can be damaging, hesitant, or a vehicle for acknowledgement and learning. We should think through what motivates our silence and how it can affect another person.Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Jeremy Pollack, of Pollack Peacebuilding Systems, on handling conflict through respect and humility
Approaching conflict with respect and humility allows people to engage with each other productively, not defensively. We discuss Jeremy’s involvement in martial arts, coaching, and how confidence can eliminate the desire to act with aggression. I talked with Jeremy in February 2020. We didn’t know what the next few months would bring. This episode, Number 75, is published on June 3 (in the U.S.) Our conversation would be thought-provoking at any time -- and perhaps even more so in the tumultuous circumstances we are now in.
